The picture reminds us that we are still in the 12 Days of Christmas - today is Ten Lords a Leaping, to be exact. It is this Sunday that the Christmas season concludes, turning our eyes toward Epiphany. However, we will celebrate the Three Kings and their journey to find the Christ Child under the Star. We will receive Star Words as a means of being guided throughout the year. I invite you to reflect on how the word you received in 2024 played out in your life - what might your 2025 word be?
Tomorrow morning, Fellowship's Ruling Elders from the classes of 2024 through 2027 will gather with Ministry Team Leaders and Members to help pray together, set goals, and focus together on how God is calling us into the upcoming year. I encourage you to pray for them and see where, perhaps, God is calling you to serve both inside and outside of the Church's walls in 2025 - if you're uncertain, let's grab a cup of coffee or a bite to eat and talk about it!
Finally, I'm sure you noticed things look a little different "around here": a new year sometimes calls for a new look! I hope you like it. If you notice something missing or amiss, please let me know!
With gratitude, joy, and in anticipation for a wonderful 2025,
Kathryn
